One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fire was burning down a track came a hobo hiking
He [G] said boys.
I'm not turning.
[F] I'm heading for a [G] land that's far away beside the crystal fountain
[C] So come with me you'll go and see
The big rock candy mountain in the big rock candy mountain
There's a [G] land that's fair and bright [F] where the [G] handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars all are [F] empty and sun [C] shines every day
[D] on the birds and the peas and cigarette trees the [G] lemonade Springs where the bluebird sings in the big [C] rock candy mountains
in the big [G] rock candy mountains
All the cops have wooden legs and the Bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
Farmers trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay Oh
I'm bound [Cm] to go where there ain't no snow where the rain don't fall the winds don't blow in the big [C] rock candy mountains
[G]
[A]
[C] in the big [G] rock candy mountains
[C] You never change [G] your socks and the little streams of alcohol come a trickling down the rocks
The break when I have to tip their hats and the railway bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew and a whiskey too you can paddle all around in a big canoe in the big rock candy [C] mountains
in the big [G] rock candy mountains
[Cm] All the jails are made of tin [F] [C] and you can walk right out again as soon as you are in
There ain't no short handle shovels.
[G] No axes saws or picks [F] Oh
[G] Bound stay where you sleep all day [Cm] where they hung the jerk that invented the [G] work in the big [C] rock candy mountains
[G]
[F] I'll see [C] you all this coming [G] fall in the big [C] rock candy mountains
